appropriate point in the text by the last name of author, year of publication, and pagination
where appropriate, all within parentheses.Footnotes are to be used only for substantive observations. Specify subsequent citations
of the same source in the same way as the first one; do not use “ibid.,” “op. cit.,” or “loc. Cit.”
General Tips

1. Pagination follows year of publication: (Lipset 1964, pp. 61-65).
2. For more than three authors, use “et al.” For institutional authorship, supply minimum
identification from the beginning of the complete citation:
(U.S. Bureau of the Census 1963, p. 117)
3. With more than one reference to an author in the same year, distinguish them by use of
letters (a, b) attached to the year of publication: (1965a)
4. Enclose a series of references with a single pair of parentheses, separated by semicolons:
(Duncan 1959; Gouldner 1963; Lipset 1964, pp. 61-65).
